I am often amazed by claims of companies claiming to offer the ultimate skin care product. The fact is, there is no such thing as the ultimate skin product. Because skin care products work based upon each individuals skin type, making a claim to be the best is a falsehood. The reality, when it comes to skin care products, is that what works well for one may not work at all for others.
So, a more logical question to ask would be what is the best skin care product for my type of skin? However, this still is not completely logical. We tend to segregate people into 4 groups based on their skin types i.e. dry skin, oily skin, normal skin and sensitive skin.
While finding out your skin type helps, this is still not enough information in order for you to find a skin care product that will work for you.
Recognizing whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive or normal is the first part in choosing what skin care product is right for you. However, keep in mind that this is only the beginning of the journey to proper skin care.
To start, a basic understanding of how skin care products work is necessary. The best way to begin is to realize that all skin care products are comprised of ingredients known as inactive and active. Normally, the ingredients of concern are the active ingredients.
Inactive ingredients are used in combination with active ingredients to help your skin absorb the product. The ability of your skin to accept this combination of ingredients is the key to an effective skin care product.
Along with the active and inactive ingredients of skin care products, you must also consider the proper application techniques. After all, you can do your skin more harm than good if you improperly apply your skin care product.
In conclusion, there are outside factors to consider when choosing a skin care product. The amount of product you apply to your skin may be influenced by natural factors such as humidity, temperature, pollution, and other environmental elements.
